When I got my poodle, I was actually told that he was aggressive but after getting him home & working with him I learned about resource guarding which I had never heard of before. My previous poodle never guarded anything but I had had him at 4 months old & we immediately started training. This video is gold to me & you were recommended to me by a local trainer. Now I know that Chance & I are in good hands but we have a lot of work to do. Thank you for Inertia & the ups & downs of training her. Now I don’t feel like I have failed Chance.
I am intrigued, curious question! I have watched your journey since the beginning! I had a puppy that resource guarded i nipped it in the bud and had it sorted within two meals with her, Resource guarding is something I have dealt with with 3 of our 5 dogs. I don’t believe in preventative measures for resource guarding as I feel it can cause resource guarding if done to often! some dogs can get frustrated when people are constantly interfering with there food toys etc. This can then Inforce that fact they should guard there food with more force to keep people out (as people naturally jump back move away from a dog attempting to bite) – if you have someone who isint confident with their dog they may not be able to nip that in the bud quick enough which could lead to further issues. Many people like yourself however can quickly correct the behaviour but I feel less confident owners may struggle to correct extremely aggressive behaviour and cause further damage. What do you think?
You feed these dogs so many treats during the training, but what about really small dogs? If I give him more than a few treats he is puking an hour later.
My dog resource guards the couch from our cats if she and I are on it first. If she gets on the couch when they’re already settled, she leaves them be. So confusing.
I love how zac isnt afraid to shair mistakes or issues with training…he is so open and shows how to lean from that. He also helps us realise that even the most perfect dog like inertia has her flaws. 🥺❤🐶
Hi Zak, thank you for all your videos they are so informative. I have a quick question. Could you perhaps make a video on how to teach a deaf puppy to heal? As we ourselves have a deaf French bulldog and we would like to know how to train her to heal? Please could you help us out? She is only 13 weeks old.
Thank God we have Donald J Trump leading us during such perilous times. The American way of life, our Constitutional Republic itself is under attack from within. Democrats have become enemies of freedom. They are the domestic terrorists our founding fathers warned us about. God bless America, God bless each and every American citizen. I pray that we may once again come together as one great nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all.
The Democrats over the years have stolen over 15 trillion dollars from SS. If they had left it along the interest would carry it and everyone to day would be drawing 900 to 1200 usd a month more. But they have stolen so much from this trust fund the government is now having to put in money to pay it. Ask and retired Democrat or president if there government retirement has been cut. The answer is no and they have even increased there retirement benefits plus they draw the max SS benefits of 3600 dollars a month. But these Democrats want to destroy our SS benefits. They all need to be charged with a class a felony for it is illegal to steal money out of a trust fund and it do not even belong to the government. The fund came solely from the people and the company they worked for. The government did not contribute one penny. See what happens to you if your are caught taking money out of a trust fund 10 to 40 years in prison is what you will be looking at. And the Democrats again has stolen of 15 trillion out of SS see any doubt standard here and the federal court system letting them get by with it……..
I have followed your channel for years and love the way you approach training. We are getting a new puppy. Which of your two books is most applicable to training a new puppy? Heck, we’ll get both …
Hey Zak, Love the videos. I have been religiously watching your videos and using your training techniques with our 4.5 month old male golden retriever puppy. He is extremely intelligent and obedient and has taken to all of the training we have done. Within the past month he has been showing increasingly extreme signs of resource guarding. It started with just high value bones and treats but now it has escalated to anything he chooses to protect. If you approach him outside of a training setting he freezes up, starts growling, and if you dont back up he starts snapping and biting you. When I use commands he reacts fine and will release the protected item. But if other people or dogs come up to him he reacts very aggressively. It has gotten so bad that the other dogs he plays with dont like playing with him anymore because he will take the toy and start guarding it. He even picks up random sticks and starts guarding them and will growl and snap when a dog comes near. Your videos have really inspired me to train my dog to be the best he can be with love and respect but I am at a loss. I am scared he will bite someone if he is approached the wrong way while he is guarding an item. I have been doing training very similar to the training in this video and will continue to do so. Let me know if you have any other suggestions, specifically with guarding with other dogs. Thanks!
my puppy (4 months) picks up birds’ feathers from the ground on walks and i’ve got a few bites when i try to take them from him, even if i have his favorite treats with me… sometimes he drops the feather when i bring the treat close to his mouth but other times he just doesn’t and when i bring my hand closer he snaps.
My dog doesn’t resource guard things EXCEPT balls. Food, treats, tug toys are all fine. Balls of all shapes and sizes are the only thing she really guards but tennis balls are the one things she is really bad with. I can take them from her without any danger to myself but she does run away and hide with them in her kennel if she gets the chance. She’s a rescue so this may be inherited from a previous home.
Best needed video yet! Our “pound puppy” is quite passive about everything. He may growl at us but it is always play growing-usually! We can take a toy, his food, water, snacks, whatever and he is fine. BUT!!!!!!! If he has been given a REAL bone or chewy stick/bone/rawhide…..Look out! That growl means business!!! We have had to lasso him before when it was something he found that he should not have or would be harmful to him. Thank you for these tips!
My dog resource guards with my other dog, but never with people. She tried to do what looks like an aggressive fight, but has never drawn blood or injured our other dog. What should we do to prevent this type of resource guarding?
I love this series because it shows that even a professional isn’t perfect and as a dog owner when got my pups when I just turned 18 and got my own freedom I made a lot of mistakes. Now that I’m older I feel bad for the ignorant mistakes I made but this series has taught me so much and made me feel like I didn’t mess up as bad as I originally thought
I just binged the entire Inertia videos. Great and knowledge stuff here. I’m bringing my new pup home this Friday and I’m definitely going to be using your videos and books as my guides. Definitely learned a lot here! I’m also from Louisiana so might see you in the streets of N.O. one day hopefully I’ve trained my pup to be well behaved by then.
Hi Zak. I have been a regular at your channel for past 3-4 years. I really love you and the way your videos are made, self-explanatory and short!!! But now i have realized with the current series that I love Inertia more!! She’s a sweetheart 🥰🥰
My dog will let me take anything from him, and he’s very good with other dogs UNLESS we are at the park and he has a ball. If he has a ball he will growl and snap at any dog that is near him! How can I apply this when it’s other dogs that bother him, not me?
My dog doesn’t resource guard with humans at all, but has shown a bit of aggression when other dogs get too close to his food. Any tips or exercises to help with that?
in scenarios like this you need to correct and discipline in a non painful way of course but a touch or light pop on a collar because always doing positive reinforcement just isnt good how do you think mother dogs teach their young
My 7 month old corgi had a resource guarding problem at 4 ish months. I practiced putting my hands in his food bowl and dropping in yummy treats so he didn’t have an issue with his bowl but on our walks he would try to eat trash and things. for his safety there was a couple times where I had to take dangerous objects out of his mouth and I didn’t have any treats, so that’s likely what caused him to guard chews and new bones. After he snarled and bit me when he was chewing a bully stick I realized it was a big problem so I started reaching “trade” anytime he had ANYTHING. Now at 7 months the most hell do is show his teeth if I try to pet him while he’s chewing (if I am holding the chew) but he gives up chews for treats and I give them back sometimes too. He even guarded with strangers outside away from home, over sticks and weeds. Now he lets people pet him outside when he’s chewing a stick and he even chewed a bone on top of my uncles shoes who he just met !!
I taught my Australian Shepherd a trick called “report” I make her stay then walk away facing away from her with my legs spread apart and say “report!” then she runs and sits in between my legs. It would be so cool if you could teach this to Inertia!
Hi zack i brought a stray dog. I named her sophie. This is her Instagram

Hi Zak George! I am bringing home my puppy on August 28th. I currently have a bird. How soon should I introduce them to each other?
Very nice.. if you feel good, start with other people..
“It’s better to do this when you dog is not hungry”
My dog is always hungry 🙁

Good girl!!

What food do you feed your dog
the bone😂❤️
Is the cooked bone not good ? The raw bone better ? Plz answer my question ? Thanks a lot 👌😊
My dog resource guards the couch from our cats if she and I are on it first. If she gets on the couch when they’re already settled, she leaves them be. So confusing.
Hey Zak I got a Boxer pup recently and found you’re the best dog trainer on youtube I also subbed 🙂

Great video and I love when we get to see Bree, it makes it so familiar. Thanks for your good work!
(Plz respond) is ur dog border collie? if yes just HEART or RESPOND
My collie isn’t much of a resource guarder but it’s nice to see what to do if that should happen or with any future dog I might have.
This is so helpful! My dog is going through this and now I can help to ease her out of it.
I have followed your channel for years and love the way you approach training. We are getting a new puppy. Which of your two books is most applicable to training a new puppy? Heck, we’ll get both …
Breeders who practice the puppy culture program actually do this before their puppies go home.
Awesome very important lesson
Any tips for training an Australian shepherd who sometimes runs circles around people while barking and nipping until they stop moving?

I thought my dog did this with toys but he was trying to do tug of war
my puppy (4 months) picks up birds’ feathers from the ground on walks and i’ve got a few bites when i try to take them from him, even if i have his favorite treats with me… sometimes he drops the feather when i bring the treat close to his mouth but other times he just doesn’t and when i bring my hand closer he snaps.
Is that a Border Collie?

My dog has no resource guarding because I take her valued toy away often, Inertia is very smart
How do you train resource guarding between two dogs?

Can you teach how to train pugs
My dog resource guards with my other dog, but never with people. She tried to do what looks like an aggressive fight, but has never drawn blood or injured our other dog. What should we do to prevent this type of resource guarding?
Lol. I was first. heh. Just couldn’t wait till before I watched the video to comment.
Just got to the bone… oh my that’s huge lol
Omg come help me with my dogggggg I’m at a standstill. You’re awesome, love inertia❤️

_Where on earth did he get that bone from??_
What did you do to correct her when she snapped at you?
My dog resource guards when other dogs are around but she doesn’t try to bite any human hands that go for her toys and treats.
My dog had a cup yesterday and I tried to take it and she snapped at me this is the first time she’s ever done that
Your videos really help i have a 13 week old Rottweiler and she is doing great
